Recently finished this and I thought I'd post some pics. It climbs like a mountain goat and is plenty stiff on descents. I'm coming back MTB after a several year hiatus, so I needed a fairly bomb proof ride to fend off my rookie falls and this is my first venture into the 2x9 arena; it's held up quite well thus far.

But it's hard for anyone to see any true detail at all. It's not so much the picture, but rather the quality of the jpg rendering is pretty horrible... it goes all fuzzy around all the outlines... but yet the file is quite big @ 92kb for a 640x480 image! How can that be
